Ben Davies is in pain from saddle sores:

Late in the day came reports that third-placed rider Ben Davies (cap #10) was suffering from saddle sores. In a bid to let some air to the wound, he had foregone his cycling bibs for a pair of red football shorts and was pushing on through the pain.

I didn't realise that people arriving at CPs after they've closed are effectively out of the race--able to record a finishing time at the end but not in the classification any more. I probably should have noticed before whether that's been the case in previous years, and maybe I've just forgotten.
